Who else likes mayo on french fries?

[Benfea]

When I was living in Germany, the Germans always looked at me funny whenever I ate my french fries with ketchup in public. Actually, "funny" is a bit of an understatement. They looked at me the same way you might look at someone who suddenly grew a third arm out of their back in the middle of a restaurant.

It didn't take long to figure out why: Germans prefer mayo with french fries, so I gave it a try, and you know? I love it. French fries with salt and pepper dipped into mayo taste wonderful.

Now of course, I eat french fries with mayo all the time, so of course my fellow Americans look at me the same way Germans used to, and to be honest, I really don't care.

1. Prefer bleu cheese dressing with Tabasco.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. I always put mayo on my french fries.

I don't like ketchup much, anyhow; it's too sweet. And it has to be real mayo, not that vile mucusoid spackle, Miracle Whip.

[IronLionZion]

3. *sigh* I miss deep fried carbs...EOM

[ceile]

4. NONONONONONONO

The first time (and last) I did that the mayo was bad or I got a 24 hour bug or something, but I will never, EVER, eat ff's with mayo again.
But, mayo is still my favorite condiment for sammiches and burgers.

[rucky]

5. It's not my primary condiment...

but it's pretty darn good.

Ranch Dressing or naked is my preference.

6. Mayo and ketchup

red-white is the way to eat it. And I remember when I was in the U.S. I got the same looks like you do right now. I always had to ask for extra Mayo and that I DON'T want it on the burger :rofl:

[huskerlaw]

10. Agreed!

Ketchup and mayo is definitely the way to go.

My friend from Belgium is visiting me for 6 weeks and she's shocked at how much ketchup Americans consume (though I have caught her dunking a fry or two into a pool of ketchup, so it's rubbing off).

37. Mayo and HOT SAUCE!

:bounce::9

[Mojambo]

7. Not really, but I'd like to get my hands on that jalapeno mayo

That Dairy Queen puts on those Flame Burgers they sell.

I'm totally addicted to those burgers.

[Nicole]

15. Try this

Jalapeno Mayo:
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup minced onion
1/4 cup minced jalapeno peppers
1/4 cup minced red bell peppers
2 T. bottled lime juice, one lime if fresh squeezed
Salt and white pepper

Blend all the ingredients together in a bowl. Adjust seasoning with the salt and pepper. Refrigerate until needed.

I love it on burgers & subs. You might want to try it with the jalapeno veins removed the first time. Save them to add in at the end if you want more spice. Sometimes I use them, sometimes I don't, depending on the heat of the peppers which can vary greatly.

[Mojambo]

18. Thanks for that.

I'm no good in the kitchen, but I think even I could handle that.

It's either that or stage a commando raid on Dairy Queen in the dark of night.

[Nicole]

28. Let me know if you like it n/t

[Benfea]

22. Mmmm, I may have to try that. -NT

[Nicole]

26. It's good n/t

[txwhitedove]

29. Was gonna say I don't like Mayo, but that recipe sounds great.

:thumbsup:

[azmouse]

8. Mayo on anything is gross!

It's nasty stuff. blech!

[Nicole]

9. No way!

Sounds nasty to me. I don't use ketchup on them either.

I love them with cream gravy though. :9

[Benfea]

25. Try it!

You know you wanna.

[Nicole]

27. I might

but probably not! :P

[leftyladyfrommo]

11. I just like french fries - with anything. n/t

[Deja Q]

12. I love mayo on french fries!

Of course, I prefer eating lean so my gut doesn't expand any more quickly than it has to.

OTOH, I should be eating more comfort food... because I sure as hell deserve some form of comforting...

[Taverner]

13. EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

ew ew ew EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

[Kellanved]

24. Why?

I understand that reaction with blutwurst, saumagen, presskopf, handkäs, andouillette, haggis, pig feet & knuckles and a few other things, but why the reaction to mayo on fries? I've seen mayo on lots of things very similar to fries stateside.

[Taverner]

38. Sorry - it's just that mayo is the grossest thing to me for some reason

[KamaAina]

42. EWWWWWWWWWWWW

ew ew ew EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

[progmom]

14. I do.

But I lived in Holland for three years.

[querelle]

16. Yes!

I had fries with mayo and a big bowl of steamed mussels in Belgium a few years ago. Moules et frites is practically the national dish there and les frites are always served with mayo. It's started to become more popular here (Canada) although I still get odd looks from time when asking for mayo for my fries.

[ThomCat]

17. Mustard on French Fries!

:)

[TheCentepedeShoes]

41. I second that !!

Have always (since a kid) preferred mustard to catsup. Plain 'ole yellow mustard.

[KamaAina]

43. See #42 above

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

[YankeyMCC]

19. Mayo is just gross - Malt Vinegar is best for Fries n/t

[Beaverhausen]

20. It's like chips and dip

same thing... just hot. and yummy!

[Kellanved]

21. The trick is to use proper Fritessaus

The "normal" fries serving here is "rot-weiss", ketchup and mayo :D.

[Maddy McCall]

23. I love it.

[Benfea]

39. Clearly, you are a person of culture! -NT

[Gatchaman]

30. Buffalo fries rule!

Hand cut fries with buffalo wing sauce dumped on them. mmmmm, good!

[Benfea]

45. That is indeed yummy.

And yes, I've tried it.

[Lady Effingbroke]

31. Mayo = Satan's semen.

So is Miracle Whip! :puke:

Naked is the only way to go - especially Jack In The Crack curly fries!

[Deja Q]

33. GAWD!!!! CAN YOU DESCRIBE IT ANY MORE DISGUSTINGLY?!?!?!?!

:spray: :spray: :spray: :spray: :spray: :spray: :spray: :spray:
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Deja Q]

34. AND I REPEAT!!!

[Placebo]

36. Totally.

There are few food items more evil or disgusting than Mayo.

[mconvente]

32. YUM!

Thought it was gross, until I tried it. Combine the two whenever I can - it's delicious!

[Placebo]

35. Mayonnaise makes me throw up.

The few times I have tasted it, once when I was trying it for the first time and a couple more times by accident, I threw up every single time. It's one of the most repulsive things I've ever tasted.

So no Mayo on the fries for me! Ketchup all the way! :patriot:

[bluethruandthru]

40. Tartar Sauce on Fries!

Yum! Mayo with Ketchup is great too!

[tjwmason]

44. It is yummy.

But I also prefer real chips to French fries, rather than ridiculously thin things they actually have some substance (and, dare I say it, potato) to them.

[mainegreen]

46. Fries were invented with mayo in mind.

Ketchup on fries is just an american abomination.

[Benfea]

47. Well, if you think about it...

...we put mayo and potatoes together in potato salad, so why not with fries?
